The 33rd IAMOT conference aims to promote a broad debate on the challenges and opportunities that characterize contemporary social and business environments. With increasing frequency and coverage, critical issues related to social, health, humanitarian, political and economic aspects have emerged and challenged us to find effective, creative and innovative solutions.
The IAMOT 2024 Conference hopes to offer a platform for sharing and communicating innovative and disruptive concepts, with a special focus on the role of technologies in supporting new ways of dealing with current issues. Following the principles of Industry 5.0, we believe that technologies can go far beyond productivity and economic gains and can contribute to the benefit and convenience of human workers. Rather than adapting the skills and needs of industry workers to new technologies, a human-centered approach is needed where technology is used to adapt production processes to the needs of workers while ensuring that new technologies do not conflict with the fundamental rights of workers, such as the right to privacy, autonomy and human dignity. We intend to stimulate an in-depth debate that contributes to bringing the human factor back to the core of the manufacturing industry.
At the same time, technologies have great potential to contribute to environmental and social sustainability, allowing, for example, the development of models of circular value chains, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions, increasing the visibility of the supply chain and the consequent management of social impacts and environmental aspects.
The conference will be an opportunity for rich discussions, bringing together actors related to innovation with different and complementary perspectives and from different contexts and geographic realities. We believe that Portugal, and especially Porto, with its fertile innovation ecosystem, is the perfect place to bring together innovation enthusiasts from all over the world and generate ideas and solutions that we hope can reverberate not only beyond our borders, but also to the future generations.
IAMOT 2024 will focus on how Human-Centred Technology Management can lead to a Sustainable Future. As we embark on a new era of technological developments, it becomes crucial to consider the different roles of humans in driving innovation and managing technology. The conference aims to explore the socio-technical systems dynamics of this transition, involving technology, human-centricity, and sustainability, with a special emphasis on fostering a circular economy.
We invite high-quality original contributions that align with but are not limited to the following topics: Human, Socio-Economic, Political and Cultural Dimensions of Technology and Innovation Management Technologies for the transition to a sustainable, human-centric, and resilient industry Circular Economy and sustainable technologies Technology-based innovation for sustainable and inclusive supply chain management Business model innovation for sustainability, circularity, and prosperity Innovative businesses, smart cities, and Sustainable Development Goals User-oriented product development and innovation Inclusive technology and innovation in education Education in the management of technology and innovation Technology diffusion, adoption and acceptance Technology foresight and forecasting Responsible research and innovation Innovation and technological capabilities Innovation and creativity Social innovation and social entrepreneurship Technology-based entrepreneurship Innovation ecosystems, networks, open innovation, and policies International cooperation for technology development and innovation Intellectual Property Rights Technology transfer and Knowledge Transfer Partnerships IAMOT 2024 aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge exchange among academic, industry, and government participants.

Porto, known as Cidade Invicta (invincible city) and one of Europe's oldest tourist destinations, is the second largest city in Portugal, the capital of the Porto district and of the country's northern region.
Its wealth of artistic heritage, Port Wine, open-air leisure spaces and cultural life are just some of the reasons to visit this city, whose Historical Centre was designated World Cultural Heritage in 1996. Its natural setting and its meandering streets give it a unique charm.
